30/12/10…..Thame Football stadium – official opening

THAME United have this afternoon announced that the official opening of the ASM Stadium will now take place on January 18, 2011. The event was originally scheduled for December 21, 2010, with a friendly against Oxford United, but had to be postponed due to the weather conditions.

Thame Chairman, Jake Collinge, said: “We are extremely grateful that Oxford United have quickly re-confirmed their commitment to the fixture. We were obviously disappointed that the weather caused the postponement of the game in December as well as being acutely aware of the pressures and requirements that Oxford United have as a League Club.

The match will kick off at 7:30pm, with gates opening at 6:15pm. Admission prices will be
